Verifying knowledge bases: A bibliography

More Information
  • The preceding paper on the refinement of rule-based systems by Precce et al. reflects a recent, rapid growth of interest in verification and validation of knowledge based systems. Much of the literature on this subject is thinly spread over conference proceedings, professional periodicals and academic journals, so we have tried to collect together some of the more frequently cited work to assist readers interested in the area.
